Hi guys, just wanted to let everyone know I am bidding on this seat on ebay. Hopefully the price won't go up too much.

Lancer, what is that a stock s40 seat?

Yes, it looks like the stock seat on my 05 S40.
Having said that, I must add that I am very happy with this stock seat.

I thought that it was stock. I will take it apart, carve out a section and insert a gel pad. I have been playing with several variations on my stock two piece seat, and other seats which I have cut up and made to fit the Savage, but I have not been happy with these half-step versions.

Lancer - I was thinking about adding gel to my 2002 seat, but I don't understand how you staple the fabric back on - there is no "other side" for the stapler to use to bend over the staples. I guess there is some upholstery tool that is used?

The staples don't bend over. They just go into the seat pan.

Yep, you just fire those little suckers in there. They hold very well actually.

Like one of these - it's a t-50 arrow - works pretty good - just be careful to use the correct length staples -

Ah yes, the standard Arrow stapler. I used one to staple some sheepskin over the stock seat cover, they work great just press it tight against the seat pan so the staples go all the way in.

got heavy duty one i use to knock down stainless staples through carpet into treated lumber on boat trailers but it's pretty tough on the hand after 100 or so - saw a guy using an electric one the other day - that's cheating!
